Smashing the gas get faster Chapter 15

"No Miss James, he died right away." Riley dropped the phone and covered her face with tears flowing freely down her face. Tran had gotten Joey now. She picked up her phone and called Amy's and told her and Cam to get there now. As soon as they arrived Riley had started to control her tears. They sat down on the bed as Riley had told them to and stood in front of them.

Riley cleared her throat and started, "I have just gotten some bad news..." Her voice losing it now, "Joey was shot to death..." She burst out into tears not being able to be strong. Amy pulled her into a hug while crying too. Cam jumped up swearing but when he finally calmed down he sat down and covered his face. Their best friend from their crew had just been killed by their worst enemy.

"What should we do now?" asked a muffled voice that belonged to Riley. "I mean he doesn't have any family there. What about a funeral...he deserves one!"

Cam sighed, "I donno. Can we really just pick up and leave? You have a job that you need to be here for."

"There's no way in hell that Dom is gonna stop me from planning Joey's funeral. That boy was like a brother to me." She said as another tear flowed down her wet cheek. Cam nodded. "Alright, we'll leave for MI tomorrow which is Monday." Amy nodded as she wiped off some newly shed tears.

Later that day Riley went down to the Torreto house to talk to Dom about her trip to MI. When she knocked on the door he answered and saw that her face was red.

"What happened?" he said with a concerned voice.

"I'm okay...can we talk?" Dom nodded and walked out onto the porch and sat on the railing. Riley sighed and swallowed. "I...ah...I need to...um...make a trip back to MI."

Dom folded his arms and looked at her with a questionable look. "And whys that?"

She cleared her throat and continued slowly. "A member of my old crew, Joey, was killed in a drive-by-shooting." Dom's eyes went wide.

"Wow, I'm so sorry..." Riley nodded while brushing a tear away.

"Thanks, Well I figure we are going to need a week so we can plan and then settle his will."

Dom nodded. "Yeah...yeah sure, take as long as you need."

She smiled, "Thanks. Well I should be going...we're leaving tomorrow morning."

"Have a nice flight." She nodded. Riley drove back to her hotel and packed up everything she brought with her and put it in her car for the next morning. When she went over to Amy's hotel room she found out that Amy had already booked their flight and everything. They were booked to leave tomorrow at 11 am and would arrive in Kalamazoo at 7 pm. Then they would take a rental car to Battle Creek and to their house.

When morning hit they went to the airport and parked Riley's car in the Airport parking lot. They went through security with Lane asking questions about being a security guard and boarded their flight.

They arrived at Kalamazoo at 7:15 and went to rent a rental car. They finally got a hold of a silver Concord and Cam drove the car to Battle Creak. It was about 8:30 when they arrived at their house in MI. When, they got into the drive way Riley looked up at her house. It looked empty...almost like it wasn't home anymore. She sighed and got out of the car. Riley walked up to the red door and put in the key to open the door. As soon as she stepped inside a bunch of memories came back to her, this was the house they moved into after the thingy with Amy. It was Riley's parent's house. Amy carried a very sleepy Lane into the house and took her to her room to put to bed. Cam and Riley took care of the bags and sat down in the living room. Riley couldn't sit still so she went to make some Hot Chocolate. She grabbed her mug and poured in the hot substance, when she was heading back to Cam she took a detour and went upstairs. She passed Amy, Lanes and Cams room and ended up in front of Joey's door. She lightly touched the door handle pondering the thought of opening it but just opened it. She turned on his lamp on his night stand and sat on his bed. She looked around and spotted a photo album on his desk next to his computer.

She walked over to it and took it back over to his bed. When she opened it she saw many pictures of them all together in the house. One was of them trying to teach Lane to walk. She stopped at another one and saw them all at Halloween. Lane was dressed as a pumpkin, Amy as a cat, Cam as a ghost, and Joey as a drag queen. Riley had taken the picture that night... she remembered it well.

Flashback

"Hurry up Riley! Its not that hard to take a picture!" joked Joey.

"Well then you figure this out genius!"

Amy was putting on Lane's makeup as Cam held her. "There we go! See that wasn't so bad!" Lane was 4 but she learned to glare from Riley. So of course that's what she was doing.

"Okay! I think I figured this out!" shouted Riley "Line up!" Amy stood next to Cam and then stood Joey, Lane stood in the middle of the group. "Say...Candy Corn!"

"CANDY CORN!" shouted Lane at the top of her lungs. Everyone else just laughed at her but stood still for the picture. After the flash Lane ran and grabbed her candy bag.

"See I told you I would figure this out!" Riley said to Joey.

"No you didn't...I had to come over there and show you to press that button!"

"Hey! I knew where the button was...I just didn't know how to more the cap..."

"Uh huh..." Riley rolled her eyes and nodded.

"Okay time to go!" said Amy as she took Lanes hand and off the group, minus Riley, walked.

End of Flashback

This brought tears to her eyes. Things like this shouldn't have happened! They should have stayed the same. Nothing should have happened with Joey, he never deserved this. It shouldn't have been his time. Riley's thoughts were interrupted when Amy and Cam walked through the door and sat next to her.

"It will be okay." Said Amy as she put a comforting hand around Riley.

She sniffed, "I know...it will we just need to figure this all out."
